My Pokestop got accepted but it’s not showing up 
What is the usual process? Please help it appear!
Welcome. You might want to read below. Is it approved more than 48hours ago?
If it has been 48 hours after receiving the confirmation mail, it won’t appear due to density placement rules. That’s why I always check the wayfarer map first before submitting anything, I make sure it won’t be too close to an existing Wayspot in order for it to appear
I hope you just phrased that badly.
Wayspots should be submitted at the location of the POI.
Where the POI has a choice of locations, such as a playing field, playground or church with multiple entrances, you can legitimately use the map to decide which location to use.
Where the POI has no choice, such as a trail marker, community board, small mural, it is abuse to use the map to nudge the location away from the POI in order for it to appear in Pogo.
I wasn’t talking about misplacing anything, I was just talking about NOT submitting when there isn’t space.
For me, wayfarer isn’t about feeding Niantic with data, it is to improve the playing experience of my local community. Most people tend to submit anything they see and believe to be fitting, while I personally don’t, if it doesn’t benefit my community.
That is your right, of course. I used to feel similarly. These days i have so many submissions that i don’t feel the need to save them for special things. Now i do an evaluation of whether it could be a Power Spot or maybe it’s just a back up in case the live wayspot is ever removed.
Hello and Welcome,
If you post the Title and location (long / lat works best found on the email you receive when you 1st nominate) we can take a look for you and confirm.
Good Luck.
I don’t mean to be rude in any way, that’s just my personal opinion and how I see things. You’re totally right that, at least nominations placed too close * could* become a power spot
Just checking :). That was most likely, but some people think it’s OK to nudge things, using the cell lines to guide them.
I gave up caring about whether something would appear as a pokestop quite a while back - if it’s interesting, it’s interesting. I only use the cell lines to pick the location if it matters.
Not rude at all. I was just reminding you that there is some value in submitting “hidden” wayspots.
